Cornflower Witch

Chapter 391 Choosing a Spring Outing
Although the peaceful campus life was interrupted by the unexpected event, which sparked heated discussions among many students for nearly a week, everyone quickly forgot about it and continued to focus on their studies as no new information came in.

In the Mage Alliance, if you can get into those higher academies, you can truly change your destiny. The changes in status, identity, and strength that come with it far surpass the college entrance examination in Siltia's previous life, and are probably similar to the imperial examination in ancient times.

Therefore, whether it's to become stronger, gain power and status, or acquire freedom and wealth, entering a higher education institution is the most direct and clear path.

Driven by this force, very few students are indifferent to their grades and their future, and those with excellent grades will subtly rise in status among their peers.

Hilti currently enjoys a special status in the class. Other students will unconsciously lower their voices when passing by her seat so as not to disturb her. Furthermore, her choices in class activities also influence other students.

Camilla and the other students were taken away for questioning for two days before being released. Afterwards, the teacher said that the investigation had too few clues and the real culprit was not found. Although it was somewhat unsettling, fortunately, no other accidental deaths occurred afterward, and it was eventually forgotten.

It's a new week again. Before get out of class ended at noon, the teacher told everyone that there would be a spring outing next week, and asked everyone to choose a plan.

Option 1: Go to the farm plains in the western part of the Asla district, where you can enjoy simple activities such as walking, sketching, horseback riding, fishing, and picnicking.

Option 2: Go to the Senis district in the east, where there is a dense network of rivers and several beautiful lakes. You can see many birds such as swans, and there are also places to swim and boat.

Option 3: Go to the Green Parrot Valley in the southeast. You can hike, enjoy the scenery, collect some herbs, and see the animals in the mountains.

"Are there spring outings?" Hiltiya was a little surprised when she heard her teacher say this. She had never heard the word "spring outing" when she was studying in the woods.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to make sense. The area where the woodland is located is already covered with forests, swamps, valleys, and other terrains. Since you see these every day, there is really no need to go to other places to see them.

The second-tier apprentices of the Woodland Alliance are relatively free. Unlike the students of the Mage Alliance, they don't need to study a lot of theoretical knowledge every day. They gradually master a lot of the knowledge by carrying out missions and learning through practice.

"Where to?" Luo Weier raised her finger slightly and placed it on her chin in thought.

“My hometown is mostly plains and lakes, so there’s not much mountain climbing.” She’s thinking of visiting the Cuiying Valley, but she’s unsure if it’s a good fit.

"Hedra, what about you?" This young lady would ask her two roommates when she couldn't make up her mind.

“I’m fine with any of them.” Hiltiya felt that all three were acceptable.

"No, no, Hedra has to choose one." Lover grabbed Hilti's arm, pressing her soft body against hers.

“Okay, let’s go boating then.” Hilti thought for a moment; she had never tried boating before.

"Okay, let's go boating~" Seeing that Xiluti had made the choice, Luo Wei'er immediately agreed and followed.

This child probably just wants someone to play with her; where they go isn't that important. Aurora, on the other hand, looked up after hearing this and glanced at the three options on the blackboard. "Boating? That's nice too." She was fine with either of the other two options, except for not wanting to climb a mountain.

After the three students made their decision, other students around them gradually followed suit, and "going to the Senis district to see the swans and go boating and swimming" became the most voted option.

Most students didn't take the result too seriously, simply following their feelings and the mainstream opinion. However, there was one exception: Camilla, a new transfer student in the class, was a bit annoyed.

Why is it boating again? She couldn't help but recall last year when she sat alone in a boat on the icy sea for three whole months before finally reaching the shore. Moreover, there was no extra food or water at sea. If she hadn't been a member of the vampire royal family, even though her rank had fallen, her physical strength was still intact, and she wouldn't have been able to last that long.

Although the incident is over, she still feels aversion to water activities such as boating and has a psychological trauma from it, and probably never wants to ride a boat again in her life.

Why? Her hearing was also very sharp. Before Hilti made her choice, most students actually wanted to go to the Green Parrot Valley because many of them were born in the plains and had never seen forests and mountains. But after the black-haired girl made her choice, many people started to follow suit. Those who were originally discussing going to climb the mountain also wavered and changed their minds.

For no apparent reason, Camilla felt a little depressed and unhappy. However, her body was now frail and she no longer possessed the majesty she once had as a vampire princess. As a result, when she was unhappy, she appeared more like a young girl feeling sad and melancholy, which made the other students in the class feel sorry for her.

"What's wrong, Camilla?" the girl next to her couldn't help but ask.

"Uh, it's nothing, I was just a little curious." Camilla composed herself.

"Is there something special about Hedra? It seems like everyone is afraid of her." In her eyes, this kind of following is like how lower-ranking members in the vampire clan fear their superiors and dare not voice dissenting opinions.

"Hehe, this..." The girl's eyes darted around, she thought for a few seconds, and then gave a mischievous reply.

"That's how Hedra is. Not only are many classmates afraid of her, but the police officers on the street and the gang members in various alleys also know her and dare not offend her."

"Although her name sounds intimidating, she has a good personality. If you run into trouble outside, ask her for help, and you'll probably get a good solution." The girl said this half-jokingly, which surprised Camilla, who was unaware of the truth.

"She seems to be only at the second level, and her family background is probably not as good as Luo Weier's. Why does she have such a... uh, scary name?" Although she had only been in the class for a few days, she could still tell that Luo Weier was indeed the kind of rich young lady, whether it was her temperament and behavior, or her food, clothing and daily necessities.

“Who knows? Actually, last year, the police specifically contacted Hedra and begged her to help resolve the problem. You know, even the police chief came.” She whispered in Camilla’s ear again.

"Okay, I understand. I won't offend her easily." Camilla thought to herself that she was still very weak and should indeed be careful.

"Yes, that's right." Looking at Camilla's timid and obedient appearance, the girl suddenly felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

"Listen to your older sister from now on, and you won't have to worry about anything in life." She somewhat enjoyed the feeling of taking care of others and being relied upon, especially this incredibly delicate girl in front of her, which reminded her of how she used to be the older sister at home.
